Resume or Cover Letter? Which Should You Use?

Resume or Cover Letter? Which Should You Use?One question that comes up from time to time is, 'Should I do a resume?' In this article I will give you my take on this subject. Of course, everyone is different and what I say here may be completely different than yours. What you should know is that when it comes to a resume there are two basic types: the resume that has an introduction of yourself, followed by your job history and education information, and the resume that does not.The first type of resume is called the resume that has an introduction of yourself followed by your job history and education information. This kind of resume is the one that I personally would recommend to people. It's short, sweet, and to the point. But, the downside is that it isn't really 'personal' since you're giving too much information. So, if you like to keep things simple, go with a resume that doesn't have an introduction of yourself.The second type of resume is called the resume that does not have an introduction of yourself. This is often the best one for someone who wants to have a little more personal flair. It still gives you enough information to make a nice first impression, but you can allow yourself to get caught up in the details.When it comes to resumes, the first step is to get together all of your information. You need to write down your educational information, your past job experience, and your objective. You also need to get together with your previous experiences. Put your goals in the 'to do' section and go over your objectives in the 'to achieve' section.Now comes the fun part... Write down your details. The way to go about doing this is to put every detail you can think of on a separate sheet of paper. Once you have finished writing out everything you can think of, then write your ideas down and organize them into a new resume. Make sure you do not fill it out more than once, as you could wind up with many redundant details.If you want to add a little pers onal touch to your resume, then create a cover letter. You can either use a pen and paper or you can use the type of software that you can buy that will type your resume automatically.By using both a resume and a cover letter, you are sure to have a very professional looking resume. These two resumes can help you get your foot in the door as an employee. So, go ahead and go out and create a resume!
